Why aren't the turbos in the engine bay? It loos like they're by the diff. This is going to have mad lag because it's going to have to pressurize a longer tube, plus the exhaust gasses have more force when being push out of the block. Efficiency is lost by having them at the exhaust tips...

Have one on my 2001 Silverado. The "mad lag" is gone by 1,700 RPM, when the system starts building boost. So, whatcha talking about?

Contrary to popular belief, this is not true. This system has no intercooler, because it doesn't need one (the exposed, elongated intake pipes actually act like an intercooler), soo...the total volume of the intake pipes is equal to that of a traditional system with a necessary intercooler: minimal lag. As for exhaust pressure...pressure is pressure in a closed system, no matter where it's coming from...

...AND... if you add an Intercooler, you can safely run about 3 PSI more boost without pinging because it will drop the IATs down from around 195 degrees to near ambient air temp. I did this on my 2001 Silverado with the STS Remote Mount.

Also, I added a Water/Methanol Injection Kit to the STS system and can add another 3 PSI of boost safely, when I arm the injection system.

Stock STS Kit: 5 PSI boost

Air-to-Air Intercooler added to STS Kit: 8 PSI boost

Water/Meth Injection on STS Kit: 11 PSI boost

meth is cool

Anyone who disputes the idea needs to know simply this, PRESSURE IS PRESSURE!

If you pressurize a tube 2 inches long versus 24 inches long it doesn't matter.

exactly...the only thing that changes is volume with the size of the tube...you can push more air down a 4 inch pipe versus a 2 inch pipe...now if your talking compression its better to run a smaller diameter tube which in turn creates less work over a longer tube. Make the same length tube bigger in diameter and the energy needed to fill the extra space is created. Pressure is pressure when it comes to length..not so much when it comes to diameters

Dont forget to wrap those pipes going back to the turbos, gotta keep the heat in. Also, no LTs, they'll just rob power on a STS setup. It would seem to make more sense to go with a single though, for ease of piping. Stock manifolds into a y-pipe going back to the turbo then the other pipe running alongside the other to the front. Plenty of room for that, plus you could have the wastegate pipe run to the other side of the car and have a tip on it so it still looks like dual exhaust.

One of the great things about rear mount turbo setup is that you can use almost any variation of exhaust setup and doesn't affect the existing turbo setup. Stock exhaust, headers ( LT's or shorties ), h-pipe or xpipe, etc.. This setup for the SS is a front mount intercooler and the turbos are engine oil fed. If someone wanted to take off the kit ( but why ) then all you have to do is remove it from the car and reinstall your muffs. I am working on a design for a modified intake enclosure/repiping ( for this kit ) to alleviate any excessive water concerns wether it's tire spinoff or if you live in a floodprone area.
